The Isola (the name of a neighbourhood) no longer floats in the ‘sea’ of Milan but is well-connected and is the cultural heart of the city, partly due to the Bussa highway overpass that reconnects the neighbourhood. The project area is, and will become, a focal point of Milan's future; the junction of multiple flows and interest. In all this turmoil the highway overpass cannot remain a simple crossing, it must become a meeting place and a cultural bridge.
